You can display and edit each of these automat-
able playlists individually from Pro Tools, even
during playback.
In addition, on MIDI and Instrument tracks you
can display and edit other continuous MIDI
controller data (such as mod wheel, breath con-
troller, foot controller, or sustain) in a similar
manner. For more information on editing MIDI
data, see "Continuous Controller Events" on
page 592.
Automation Playlists with Audio
and MIDI Regions
Pro Tools handles audio regions and their auto-
mation playlists differently from MIDI regions
and their automation playlists.
Audio Tracks
On audio tracks, automation data resides on a
separate playlist from audio data and regions.
Each edit playlist on an audio track shares the
same automation data.
